SAFE ROBBED.
THE WORK OF A BURGLAR IN FIN
CASTLE.
A Great Deal OF Trouble for Nothing
no Money But
Few Coupons.
special telegram to the pIapalch.l

FINcAsTLE, VA, December l3.-Some
excitement WAS created in town this
morning by the discovery OF n raid made
last night on the Office of the county
treasurer of Boteiourt Mr.. L. j. Nc
Cullocb, the county treasurer, has his
Office IN small stone building III the
rear OF the courthouse. On going to
his office at an early hour he found
that the door had been broken open,
though then latched, and the door of his
iron safe WAS standing aiar, the outer
side OF it priced partly off, and the tax
tickets, county warrants, and other pa
pers scattered in front of the safe. The
work of an expert burglar was then
apparent. 4 hole three fOurths OF an
inch in diameter had been drilled
through the front plate of the door be
tween the knob and the lock. Inside OF
this hole had been cut coarse
thread, into which was placed a
screw fitting the corresponding thread
inside the hole. BY turning the
screw the front plate Of the door
was forced back far enough to force the
lock and push back the bolts. Monday
being court-day, the burglar doubtless
thought that a large sum OF money had
been taken in by the treasurer but 1t
happened that on that day the
disbursements we're in excess OF
receipts. and he got not n cent? money.
He helped himself 10 about 5000 Of cou-
pons OF the Valley railroad bonds. For
tunately the treasurer has the numbers
of the coupons, which are payable onthe
LIST of January next, and the county will
not pay them if presented again.
The treasurer's lamp was found
in front Of the safe, by the
light of which the work WIS done. Mr.
Fulton tringer, who was occupying an
adjoining room, says he heard q noise in
the office about 3 o'clock. The carpep-
ter-shop of J. G. Simpson was broken
into and chisels, brace, and bit
stolen. The blacksmith-shOp Of VIII
liam Douglas was also broken into
and wrench stolen. These we're used
by the burglar and were left in the pub
lic road about a half mile south OF Fin
castle. Tic safe, small one, was man
ufacturcd by the Steam Safe Company,
Of Baltimore. No effort has been madc
to arrest the burglar.
Mr.. VI. $. Cahoon bad Lis valuable
riding-horse stolen here yesterday. The
burglar may have escaped on him.

His GLORY Has Departed.


II General MAHoNE's hearing is at
NIL acute he has doubtless by this time
heard himself drop. The National Re
publican Committee dropped him, and
that, too, IN manner that is very sug-
gestive of the conventional "dull thud,
seeing thai the drop ended his political
hopes. The facts set forth by
our Washington correspondent yesterday
should make apparent to MALONE what
has been apparent to everybody else for
long time-that he was simply tolerated
by the average leader of the Republican
party for the service he could be to that
party. Now that his days of usefulness
are over he has been snubbed aud most
emphatically sat upon. The Blaineites
are disposed TO rend him on account of
his championship of SHERMAN, and the
Shermanites give him the cold shoulder
because his overwhelming defeat in Vir-
ginia last month demonstrated that he
would not be able to keep his contract
and turn the State over to the arch-hater
OF the South in 1888. He tried 10 rein
state himself with the malignants by
an effort to have Cincinnati chosen
as the place of meeting of the
Republican National Convention, but
even that failed. Truly it would seem
that there is nothing left for him to DO
but TO return to one Of the counties in
the black belt and officer the colored
voters. We do not doubt that MALONE
will continue TO try to give trouble
in Virginia. He has a grudee against
many OF the most prominent men
in the Republican party as well as
against the Democratic party, and he
will leave no expedient untried in his
efforts TO get even with all who have
contributed in any manner towards
thwerting him. lie will therefore bear
watching. Nevertheless, it would seem
settledt that as Irrational character his
"glory, such as II was, has departed.

Persisted in u Balloon.

A Louisville special says: The citi-
zens of Owensboro', KY, observed an
immense balloon sailing over that city
at a great height on Saturday afternoon.
1t was within view for a long while, but
when last seen it appeared TO be rapidly
descending. Parties went in search Of
it on Sunday, and during the afternoon
it was found in an old swamp about ten
miles south Of Hainesville. The search
ing party were Mortified at the discovery
of the emaciated remains of a man who
had been evidently emptied from the
basket several yards from where the air
ship had fallen.
1t is the theory that the aeronaut was
already dead before the balloon reached
the earth, as no serious bruises we're
found upon his body. No papers or
other evidences have been found to in
dictate who the man can be. II is sup
posed that he lost control OF the airship.
which assembled 10 a great altitude, and
that he met death from waD' If food and
extreme cold.

WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER14, 1887.
The New Railroad Scheme.

The view taken by the citizens Of
Danville regarding the object of the
Danville and Great Western railroad bill
should be carefully considered by the
Legislature to the end that the bill be
not passed until it shall have been es-
fablished that the corporators of the
proposed road are acting in good
faith. II is not for us to say
that they are not, but considering the
ways Of great railroad corporations, il
would seem that our Danville friends
have taken a wise precautiOn in setting
on foot an investigation. If the corpo-
rators mean business, and are not
utter "gobble," as the citizens of
.Canville suspect, they cannot he
hurt by thorough ventilation of the
bill. However even should the suspi-
cion snamed prove unfounded, there Is
another point well worth being consid-
cred before granting the charter. We
learn that despite popular understanding
it is denied in certain quarters that the
Danville and Great Western bill was
gotten mp in the interest of the
Danville railroad syndicate. This
may be true, but it must be
regarded as little suspicious that right
on the heels of the introduction of the
bill into the Legislature it should be or
dered that the main offices of the Dan
vile Railroad Company be moved
back to this city. As every one
knows this is step calculated
TO make friends for the Dan
vile road not only in Richmond but
throughout the rest of the State 1t
follows, therefore, that, granting the
citizens of Danville are mistaken rs to
the intentions of the corporatOrs touch
ing the main question in which they are
interested, there is still room for
investigation. This we would espe-
cially impress upon the Richmond
representatives III the Legislature.
II it be that the bill is a Dan
vile railroad syndicate measure it
might be well to inquire into the ex-
pediency of previously passing another
bill making it obligatory upon the Dan
vile Railroad Company to keep their
main offices in Richmond. We have no
guarantee that the removal of the offices
from Washington to this city, even should
it be accomplished, would be anything
more than temporary. Time and again
such removal has been promised
and our people have been disap-
pointed. The proposed extension
would be great thing for the Danville
system, and if our Legislators are TO give
that system the privilege Of making it,
they should see to il that as far as posi-
bic the benefits shall not all be on one
side. The permanent location in Il State
Of the main offices OF any railroad
system is of great advantage to that
State. This fact has been recognized by
the Legislatures of many of our sister
States, and has been kept prominently
in view in granting privileges to railroad
companies. Our Legislature should also
keep it in view and act upon 1t as far as
possible. Virginia would he much bet
ter off to-day than she is had they com
menced 10 act on it long ago.
